Withdrawal process

1. Initiation — Request sent to Hyperliquid
2. Validation — System validates balance and parameters
3. Signing — L1 validators sign the withdrawal
4. Bridge interaction — Withdrawal sent to Arbitrum bridge contract
5. Completion — USDC arrives in Arbitrum wallet (~5 minutes)

Use cases

• Profit taking — Withdraw trading profits to Arbitrum
• Bridge to other chains — Move funds to Arbitrum for further bridging
• Risk management — Reduce exposure by moving funds off-platform
• Treasury management — Regular withdrawal schedules

Ensure you have enough USDC to cover both the withdrawal amount and the $1 fee. The fee is deducted from your Hyperliquid balance, not from the withdrawal amount.

Withdrawals are irreversible once initiated. Always verify the destination address on Arbitrum. The address must be a valid Arbitrum address that can receive USDC.
